Matt LaFleur came to his rookie kicker’s defense after another questionable performance that makes Narveson’s inclusion in the squad questionable in the eyes of many Packers fans.
Per Acme Packing Company’s Justis Mosqueda:
“I got a lot of confidence in Brayden. I do. I think that — you know, it’s tough — we all want the results. I think he’s a young guy and a lot of times with young kickers that you go through this. Certainly, I think that he’s, I know that he’s disappointed. I’ve still got a lot of belief in him. I’ve seen it in practice. I told you guys from Day 1, the day he got here, and just have seen his ability. So, it’s just part of it. Unfortunately, it wasn’t his day, but I got a lot of confidence and wouldn’t blink if we have to put him in another situation.”
Brayden Narveson will find it great that his head coach is extending such a long leash for his performances, but he knows better than anyone that his showings are far from the expected standard. He has a subpar 69.2% FG rate through four games this season.
If he wants the online abuse to lessen, he needs to step up and be more accurate on the field. Otherwise, it will be a rough season for the 25-year-old.
